Video Summary
In this video, the speaker discusses the case of a patient with ventricular tachycardia (VT) and the steps taken in the lab to treat the condition. The patient had a history of coronary disease and had previously received an ICD for prevention. Despite receiving medication, the patient continued to experience frequent VT episodes and shocks. The lab used electro-anatomic mapping to locate the scar tissue from a previous heart attack and identified the area from where the arrhythmia was originating. The lab then proceeded with ablation therapy to treat the arrhythmia. After the procedure, the patient has not experienced any further arrhythmias. The speaker also discusses the success rate and benefits of the ablation procedure.
